COASTAL COMMUNITY TEAMS ECONOMIC PLAN East Lindsey COASTAL COMMUNITY TEAMS ECONOMIC PLAN Name of CCT: East Lindsey Heritage Coast “The forgotten coastline between Skegness and Mablethorpe” “….land here is strangely affecting” “The coast here feels like an island, desolate and full of surprises” “vouch for the R&R found in its calm, other worldly landscape” Patrick Barkham Version 4 - 27Jan2016 2 COASTAL COMMUNITY TEAMS ECONOMIC PLAN East Lindsey Heritage Coast Single Point of Contact: Paul Learoyd Chief Executive Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust Banovallum House Manor House Street Horncastle LN9 5HF 01507 526667 [email protected] CCT Membership: Vicki Bush Senior Education & Community Officer Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust Nicola Radford Coastal Communities Alliance and Lincolnshire County Council Accountable Body: Lincolnshire County Council County Offices Newland Lincoln LN1 1YL Version 4 - 27Jan2016 3 Gibraltar Point: “It’s not a beautiful place, nor is it particularly dramatic, but there’s a charm to the simple landscape that I love” Peter Hatter Version 4 - 27Jan2016 4 Executive Summary Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust has worked with Lincolnshire County Council (the accountable body) to establish a Coastal Community Team with funding from Department for Communities and Local Government. DCLG is encouraging the establishment of ‘‘Coastal Community Teams” to enable local communities to come together and develop a common vision and plans for their area. This team covers the "green" areas of the East Lindsey coast, including Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve, Chapel Point (Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park), Saltfleetby Theddlethorpe Dunes National Nature Reserve and Donna Nook National Nature Reserve. The catalyst for the was the £1.75m government investment from the Coastal Communities Fund to replace Gibraltar Point’s flood-damaged visitor centre and help create a purpose-built marine observatory at Chapel St Leonards. The team seeks to maximise the benefit of these flagship projects and the “green coast” as a whole, while not damaging the very features of interest. While nature tourism is clearly under-recognised in Lincolnshire, and probably less developed than other nearby coastal counties, considerable interest has been shown by many. The publication of research on behalf of the Greater Lincolnshire Nature Partnership in autumn 2015, estimating nature tourism to be worth £58m across Greater Lincolnshire as a whole, prompted a strong response with some excellent examples being cited. Challenges identified by Owens and Harper 2015 “CCF Review” are demonstrated in this area with low business aspiration levels, a sense of remoteness and complex local networks. For these reasons it is proposed that the future operation of this team is taken on by a newly established multi-stakeholder group being formed round Lincolnshire’s “Wild Coast” and the recommendation that this ‘Partnership’ works closely with teams based in the resorts.

Version 4 - 27Jan2016 7 “Lincolnshire coast is a combination of fabulous sandy beaches with popular coastal resorts and wild shorelines” Platinum Healing Version 4 - 27Jan2016 8 Local Area Lincolnshire is one of England’s largest counties with a 50 mile long coastline that extends from the Humber Estuary to the marshlands of the Wash. Parts of the coast are popular holiday destinations, with resorts at Mablethorpe, Ingoldmells and Skegness that attracts thousands of visitors in peak holiday periods. Between the holiday resorts in the north of the county there are stretches of coastline that are undeveloped and have sandy beaches and well developed dune systems. Along the whole length of the coastline there are coastal defences that protect the coastal zone from inundation. The undeveloped sections of the coast have important habitats, many of which are protected as nature reserves or through conservation designations. There are Natura 2000 sites, National Nature Reserves, Sites of Special Scientific Interest and a proposed Marine Conservation Zone. Inland from the coast, along the coastal zone, the historic grazing marshes, now largely converted to arable agriculture, are also important habitats. The remaining grazing land and the remnant marshes are vital for wetland wildlife and as habitat for resident, migratory, and, particularly, overwintering birds. The coast and the coastal hinterland have an important heritage interest, with Scheduled Ancient Monuments, historic buildings, wartime remains, and other archaeological sites, all within a fascinating historic landscape of drainage systems, field and settlement patterns. Grazing marsh was claimed from saltmarsh and the long history of holding and protecting the land from the sea, improving the farmland and trading agricultural products with other countries has left its distinctive mark on the landscape. Version 4 - 27Jan2016 9 East Lindsey Heritage Coast Coastal Community Plan Area East Lincolnshire’s North Sea Coast, from the Humber to the Wash Version 4 - 27Jan2016 10 Community The population of the area is 77,193 (2011 Census). The population density of the area is only 100 per km2 compared with the national population density of 407 per km2. Typical of coastal areas, the area has an ageing population, seasonal industries, with seasonally related unemployment, low skills and low wages. With this type of employment profile aspirations are not high and young people entering workforce age usually move out of the area for further education and careers. Headlines from 2015 Indices of Deprivation (LRO): - Lincolnshire coast stands out as being amongst the most deprived 10% of neighbourhoods nationally. - East Coast of Lincolnshire shows relatively higher levels of multiple deprivation in comparison with the rural areas of the county. - There is an aging population and areas of high unemployment which is highly cyclical, peaking in the winter. In contrast, the visitor profile identified for nature tourism is upper and middle class (A, B) predominantly aged over 34 years (Highlands and Islands Visitor Survey). Version 4 - 27Jan2016 11 “a perception of being a place with flat farming countryside, not as scenic as other parts of the UK but offers the feeling of freedom and space along the coast” 2007 Lincolnshire Study Version 4 - 27Jan2016 12 Economy Concentration of economic activity on the agriculture (contributing to Lincolnshire being the nation’s biggest arable and horticultural producer) and tourism sectors (total revenue nearly £500m in 2012). The area is characterised by a large number of small businesses, typical for a rural area and business densities are higher than regional and national averages. This is driven by the large number of agricultural businesses. The primary tourism offer is traditional seaside activity, with visitors staying in self-serviced accommodation, predominantly static caravans. The key towns are Skegness and Mablethorpe which also have a high number of hotel and bed and breakfast accommodation for visitors as well. The area lends itself to self-employment opportunities. This is borne out by the self- employment rates in the area being higher than both locally and nationally (19% of those in employment aged 16-64 compared to 14% and 15% respectively). The area lies solely within the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP).

    National Character 42. Lincolnshire Coast and Marshes Area profile: Supporting documents www.gov.uk/natural-england 1 National Character 42. Lincolnshire Coast and Marshes Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Summary The Lincolnshire Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) established a policy of ‘hold the existing defence line’ for the Lincshore coastline. As part of the Lincshore Coastal Defences Strategy (covering Donna Nook to Skegness) we are proposing to implement the SMP. To deliver the strategy, beach nourishment material will continue to be placed annually along the coastline between Mablethorpe and Ingoldmells. A performance review of the beach nourishment project has been undertaken, in preference to a full strategy review, which supports the Lincshore project, enabling a 0.5% annual probability of flooding (1 in 200 year return period) standard of protection along the frontage over a period of 100 years.

  • Appendix B Greater Lincolnshire Coastal Vision
    Appendix B Greater Lincolnshire Coastal Vision Draft (version 3.1: January 2016) The Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership: a Vision for Greater Lincolnshire's Coast by 2030 Greater Lincolnshire's key strengths in agri-food and tourism are concentrated in its coastal areas. So are many of greatest opportunities for realizing and developing those strengths as well as important challenges such as flood risk management, future water supply, environmental protection, economic growth, housing and infrastructure. This Coastal Vision sets out how Greater Lincolnshire can build on its existing strengths, its plans and ambitions for the coast, to join with its emerging aspirations for the economy to become a force for growth. A number of important strategies and plans set out significant aspirations for the future of Coastal Greater Lincolnshire, often based on extensive public and stakeholder consultations. The Coastal vision seeks to draw these together into a coherent whole, while focusing on the GLLEP's ambitions for the coast's contribution to Greater Lincolnshire's economic growth. Strategic context Greater Lincolnshire overall provides £12bn GVA to the UK economy (in 2013) £1bn visitor economy with over 17m visitors (in 2012) The fourth most popular tourism destination in the UK £1.5bn manufacturing economy 25% of the UK's grade 1 agricultural land 25% of all UK-grown vegetables 20% of the UK's RAF bases The second-fastest growing of all the shire counties with net inward migration twice the national average. Greater Lincolnshire is ambitious to Increase economic output by £2.5bn over the next ten years Establish the UK's largest Enterprise Zone on the Humber Estuary Create or safeguard 9,000 jobs Create 1m square metres of commercial floor space 1 Much of this happens – or will happen – at the coast.

  • The East Midlands Is a Region of Contrasts
    The East Midlands is a region of contrasts: from the hills of the Peak District to the flat and fertile fens of Lincolnshire, farming is the backbone of the region’s countryside and its economy. More than 80% of the East Midlands is farmed, but food processing is a major employer, too, as well as tourism, particularly in and around the Peak District National Park and the Lincolnshire coast, where it plays a key role in the rural economy. In Derbyshire, over 39 million visitors flock to the county each year. Total farming output from the East Midlands was valued in 2010 at £2.24bn, reflecting the productivity and diversity of the crops we grow. As a predominantly arable region, wheat and oilseed rape are our main crops, but field vegetable and potato growing dominate parts of Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Dairying, beef, sheep, pig and poultry farms are important to the region, too: more than a third of our holdings are involved in livestock production. Melton Mowbray is the rural food capital of England and is famed for pork pies and Stilton cheese. And the hills of Derbyshire are home to thousands of cattle and sheep, shaping and maintaining the beautiful landscape and protecting the environment for future generations. And Lincolnshire’s horticultural area is more than 20% of England’s total vegetable and potato production; the fertile silts of the south of the county provide produce for one of the major production, processing and packing centres of Europe. In Nottinghamshire in particular, renewable energy is a growing sector; willow and Miscanthus for power generation, wind turbines and solar farms are all reducing the country’s reliance on fossil fuels.
